Cowboys’ Derrick Dockery: ‘I’ll be ready if they need me’ against Eagles

IRVING — Veteran Cowboys offensive guard Derrick Dockery returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering right leg and knee injuries in the Week 2 game at San Francisco. Dockery was rolled up on from behind in the third quarter against the 49ers and suffered a sprained MCL and a slight fracture of his right leg just below his knee.

Dockery finished the game against San Francisco but hasn’t played or practiced since. He was limited in practice Wednesday.

“It felt good to be back out there with the guys. It felt really good out there today, just more working on my technique, bending a little bit with the knee and going from there,” Dockery said.

So, will you be ready to play Sunday at Philadelphia?

“Yeah, I’ll be ready if they need me,” Dockery said. “I’m just real excited to be back on the team, trying to help compete and help this team in any way possible.”
